I reached out to the national WWI museum, but have not heard from them. I have a lot of other stuff of his from WWI that I am working on getting scanned.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 7:10 am Amazing share, very cool stuff.
Have you thought about submitting to the national archives? IDK how much of this kind of detailed photographic accounts they have from WW1, but I would think this would be a good addition in any case.

I have maps that he used during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, with notes on them marking different things, such as where certain people were killed. I also found a bunch of notebook pages starting in Dec of 2017 with notes that he took reviewing trench digging, explosives, and other items for preparing for the war.wap wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 10:20 amSuch as?Huckleberry wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 8:24 am

Sounds 5/7 fascinating. So cool that he did all that and that you still have them and that they are still in decent condition.Huckleberry wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 11:06 amI have maps that he used during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, with notes on them marking different things, such as where certain people were killed.

I just got the scans back today. The .tif files are massive: 11 files equating to 2.2 GB in size. I made .jpg copies just to keep the internet from crashing. This was money well-spent.
The first is a roster of the company my great grandfather was in. His name is second from the top:
The first map has notes on it and looks like something he marked up later on for someone to follow on a trip through France:
The back of that same map:
Map #2:
Map #3 is from the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, and has notes on various things, including locations where certain people were killed:
Map #4:
Map #5:
And they were able to do some CSI-esque "Enhance!" on the red text in the upper righthand corner:
Map #6:
Map #7:
Map #8:
